Area of Science:

Gynecological research
Animal modeling
Pathophysiology

Background:

Dysmenorrhea affects many women of reproductive age.
It is categorized as primary (uterine hypercontraction) or secondary (pelvic lesions).
The exact mechanisms underlying dysmenorrhea remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current rodent models of dysmenorrhea.
To detail experimental methods and evaluation metrics.
To provide guidance for selecting appropriate models for future research.

Main Methods:

Summarization of existing literature on rodent models for dysmenorrhea.
Description of induction methods for primary and secondary dysmenorrhea in murine models.
Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of different models.

Main Results:

Primary dysmenorrhea models are typically induced by oxytocin or prostaglandin F2α.
Secondary dysmenorrhea models are often built upon primary models with additional oxytocin induction.
Various evaluation indexes are used to assess these models.

Conclusions:

Rodent models are valuable tools for investigating dysmenorrhea mechanisms and therapeutic effects.
This review offers a reference for selecting suitable dysmenorrhea models.
Further research using these models can advance understanding and treatment of dysmenorrhea.
